Skipper of German team: Philipp LahmThe 26-year old Philipp Lahm will captain the German team in South Africa. One day before a friendly match against Hungary in Budapest (Saturday, 8 P.M., live on ZDF), German coach Joachim Löw made the announcement during a press conference at the team’s training camp in Eppan, Tyrol. Lahm is a defender of FC Bayern München, which had reached the Champions League final against Inter Milano recently.

“Phillip Lahm will be our skipper, and Bastian Schweinsteiger his standby. Both are able to take responsibility”, said Löw. Lahm replaces Michael Ballack, who cannot compete at the 2010 FIFA World Cup due to an ankle injury.
